OK, 15 is a very conservative number, but when I finish a quilt or two, I really want to start 4 more! I've been receiving the MSQC's Block magazine/books for almost a year now, and have about 20 quilts marked. Chances are, though, I'll find a pattern at a shop and decide to make that... <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your quilt world with us. <br />Kris Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566754966590168802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-20084422897797297492016-06-21T05:59:14.455-05:002016-06-21T05:59:14.455-05:00Love your rail fence.
